TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Declaring 'that the woman of the present day doesn’t mean to be "bad” by wearing the "latest’’ X-ray skirts, silhouette gowns and the like, Dr. Lincoln McConnell, the new pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, who ar rived in the city Monday night, es tablished his position on the modern movement, arid incidentally differed sharply with his famous predecessor, Dr. Den Q. Broughton, who says the wearers of the late gowns are in league with the devil with no possi ble chance of ever seeing Heaven. "Modern woman." declared Dr. Mc Connell, "doesn’t mean ndar as much by her fads as most people seem to think. Neither is she bad, nor has she given up her old ideas of virtue. The fact that she is going to ex tremes in dress as in other things is simply another indication of the Trend of the Times,’ the movement all along the line-in religion, in pol itics, in all governmental affairs, to throw off restraint. “This so-called shocking’ part that woman is playing in the great move ment ultimately will work out all right. The restraint will be thrown off (no doubt about that) the pen dulum will swing far out—it has al ready almost reached the farther point—woman will get universal suf frage—and then this same pendulum will swing back again. No Need for Alarm. “There is a breaking away from the old things—the old faith—a whole sale throwing off of all restraint. But people should not be alarmed, for there will be another trend backward when the good has been reaped from the present movement.’’ Dr. McConnell declared Tuesday he E Would Like to Elect Police Board, but Will Not Talk About Chief Beavers. would preach next Sunday night on this topic. "The Trend of the Times,’’ touching on all of those so-called evils about which people are talking so much to-day. Greeted by the <'hautauqun salutes and the cheerH of more than 100 mem bers of the Tabernacle congregation, Dr. McConnell stepped from the Dixie Flyer at the old depot Monday night. Harry Ethridge, one of the deacons, was the first to grasp the hand of the new pastor, and then followed a handshaking such as Dr. McCorfnelt declared he had never before expe rienced. Following the reception at the de pot, Dr. McConnell was taken to the home of Mr. A. CL Boatman, choir master of the Tabernacle, who will entertain the new pastor until he Is fully established in the city. Dr. Broughton to Preach. Dr. McConnell will preach his first sermon next Sunday morning On the following Sunday the Installation ceremonies will be held with a num ber of noted ministers taking part. Among the speakers will be Dr. Len G. Broughton. former pastor of the Tabernacle, Dr. Bennett, of the Home Mission Hoard; Dr. John E. White, pastor of the Second Baptist Church; Dr. John F. Purser and Dr. Charles \V. Daniel. W. S Wltmam will preside and James MaVson, the city Attorney, will welcome Dr. Mc Connell in the name of Atlanta.

Miss Naomi Wells’ Attempt at Suicide Is Successful at West Point. The City Council, with one or two possible indldvldual exceptions, will support the new- charter which will make possible the wiping out of the Police Commission and the establish ment of a enew board with a new policy. Following The Georgian’s explana tion of the political significance of the new charter, it is the one topic dis cussed in political circles. “I don’t think there is any doubt that practically every member of Council is anxious for this new char ter to be adopted.’’ said Councilman George H. Boynton, of the Sixth Ward, Tuesday. “That charter will be adopted by the voters of Atlanta,” said Council man C. D. Knight, of the Second Ward. There is not a member of Council, though, who will yet give an inter view on Chief Beavers and the police policy. Even Mayor Woodward won't. Yet all state yrivately it is the vital issue in the campaign. Many rumors are afloat of new candidates for Council. Whoever comes out victorious, the old crowd or a new one, there will be a real fight over the control of the police depart ment, if the new charter is adopted. The members of the present Coun cil seem willing and anxious to elect a new police boarti. Whether they would elect the members of the pres ent Police Commission or new- mem bers with a different policy Is hard to tell, ut the present Police Commis sion would have a decided advantage in the fight to remain in power If the old Councilmen were elected.

At Home for Friendless. “He refuses to talk to the report ers.” \ That was the answer given Tues day when an interview was sought with the newest arrival at the Home for the Friendless, a mysterious young personage, who as y<*t has vouchsafed no explanation for his presence at 10 o’clock Sunday night on the porch at No. 205 Woodward avenue, the home of James H. Mc- Nesser. The new inmate not only declines to throw any light on his movements Sunday night, but he as persistently refuses to disclose his name. He is pleasant to everyone; greets all his visitors with a smile, but when ii comes to talking there Is "nothing doing.” Failing to learn his identity, the police named him "Joy,” and so he is known at the Home for the Friend less, where he has become the center of all attention. “Joy” Found on Porch. "Joy’’ was discovered and brought into the limelight by Mr. McNesser, a real estate agent. "Joy" compla cently was ensconced on McNesser’s front porch when the real estate man returned home Saturday night. The young Intruder alternately was en gaged in testing out his lungs, the use of which, by the way, he had possessed for only about three weeks; and in inventorying the number of toes on his two chubby feet. This latter occupation seemed to occasion him considerable worry. He was sure that there should be ten altogether. Finally he found that none was missing, and a baby laugh of satisfaction gurgled out on the night air. It startled the ears of Mc Nesser, w T ho was just coming up the steps. He was not accustomed to finding babies on his porch when he came home o’ nights. He struck a match and peered down at the little bundle in front of his door. Clad in Fine Garments. "For the love of Mike, what are you doing here?” exclaimed McNesser. "Joy” laughed right in hip face, but didn’t say a word. An hour later "Joy” was holding a levee at the police station, after which he was established at the Home for the Friendless, where he will stay until a permanent abiding place is found for him. "Joy.” when he was discovered on the McNesser porch, was all decked out in dainty garments of excellent quality. The clothes were hemstitched and embroidered in attractive design. WAS 46 RAIS LATE Man Who Served 17 Years Should Have Been Released July 12. Addresses Pastors. That he remained in prison exactly 46 days longer than^-was necessary because of a misunderstanding in Washington over the character of his sentence was the information con veyed Tuesday morning to Thomas Bram, who was released from the Federal prison on a parole last Wed nesday after serving seventeen years. The information was received by George P. Freeman, who was instru mental in getting Bram’s parole, from Representative William Schley How ard. who inclosed a letter from C. H. McGlasson, Acting Superintendent u# Prisons, with headquarters at Wash ington. Mr. McGlasson says he discovered Bram’s case was not one of that class held up pending the Attorney Gen eral’s construction of the parole law, as Bram was sentenced by the court to life imprisonment and not sen tenced to be hanged and later com muted by the President. If it had not been for this misun derstanding, Bram would have been paroled about July 12. He was aware of his eligibility to parole long be fore July 12. and in anticipation of his release he became perhaps the hap piest man among the hundreds behind the bars. When July 12 arrived, however, and then the next day and following days, and no news of the parole came, Bram began to see visions of months, perhaps years, of further imprison ment. But finally he received the pa pers which made him a free man. The Labor Day festivities Monday put a temporary check on Bram’s ef- | forts to land a Job in Atlanta. How ever, he declared he is going cam paigning again Tuesday, with every hope of getting work before Wed nesday. He says he is willing to*do anything honest. Mr. Freeman, his best friend, adds anything without Sunday work, for Bram, he says, aft er serving seventeen years in the Federal penitentiary deserves at least one day of rest each week. Bram was the invited guest and speaker at the Atlanta Pastors’ Union at Wesley Memorial Church Monday morning. Young Girl Shot in Copper Strike Riots CALUMET.

MoNaugh- ton had been convicted on the flim siest sort of evidence and that the State would be taking the life of an innorent man if he was hanged, Judge Frank H. Saffold, of Swains- boro, and J^>hn W. Bennett, of Way- cross, made pleas before the Prison Commission Monday in behalf of the man convicted of poisoning Fred Flanders to death. Dr. McNaughton has been respited many times in order that all of the evidence of the case might be gone over thoroughly. It was the expecta tion that Mrs. Flanders would be tried for alleged connivance in the crime and that new clews might develop, but the prosecution was dropped with the explanation that tehre was no case against her. With Mrs. Flanders out of consid- no further reason for respiting Dr. eration, there probably will be found McNaughton. The alternatives are to permit the physician to go to his death at the time set, October 3, or commute the sentence. His attorneys undertook to show it would have been impossible for him to be guilty of the crime, and called to the attention of the commission that physicians had testified it was not certain Flanders did not die from natural causes. The commission is expected to make its report to Governor Slaton before Friday. Executive clemency for Lige Lane, a Clinch County negro, convicted of criminal assault, also was asked of the commission Monday. It was urged that the evidence was not sufficient to convict and that the victim was of bad character. Aster Messes With Tars on the Utah ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 2.—Jackies of the U. £. S.
